One of the Portland area’s most influential business organizations repeatedly violated city lobbying rules last year, resulting in a rare fine by the city auditor’s office.
The Portland Business Alliance failed to disclose at least 25 times it had contacted city officials in 2020 to request access, funding or action, primarily by email, an investigation by the auditor’s office found.
Those unreported emails, text messages and other interactions with officials did not appear in quarterly statements the alliance is required to file with the city of Portland as an organization that routinely lobbies City Hall.
